Default Anyone have 944 door hinge?

Mine's cracked clean through, and if someone swings open the door hard enough, the door could fall off; or so I was told by the PO. Does anyone have a spare one just laying around or any means of acquiring one? Is it the same on the 924?


Thanks in advance.

Hi Karl,

Your door will not fall off as the hinges (red brackets above and below what you have outlined) are what actually holds the door on. What you are pointing out is the door stop...it keeps the door from opening too far and hitting the fender...causing damage to the fender and the door. It may also have something to do with the door staying open when you open it, don't know about that though.

Here is a link to a replacement kit if you are interested in buying new.

I personally do not think I have a spare at the moment, I'm sure someone might pipe in with one they will offer to you.

I am going to the wrecking yard this weekend. If I see a 944 and have the time, I'll pull that bracket for you.
